Weber: I doubt there will be progress in dialogue, Vuciq is playing and is not interested in respecting agreements

The expert for the Balkans and senior co-worker of the Council for Democracy Policy in Berlin, Bodo Weber, has expressed sceptical about the future of the dialogue process between Kosovo and Serbia.

Weber has stressed his doubts about progress in dialogue, as according to him, Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq is playing and is not interested in honouring the agreements.
“ Upgrade Res in dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia, because Aleksandar Vucinqi has been playing and is not interested in respecting the agreements. For everything, Serbia's president blames Kosovo for not being interested in dialogue, so I am very skeptical about the future of this process. He even resisted Western pressures by not imposing sanctions on Russia”, he said.
The Weber expert has also commented on the success of the election process in Serbia on December 17th, saying they clearly testified that there is an autocratic regime.
He has said major violations were identified in the Serbian capital in Belgrade, where it was a close race between opposition parties and the ruling party.
“These elections witnessed once again the way Aleksandar Vuciq and his party have led over the past decade. Serbia is only a democracy on paper and is becoming increasingly authoritarian. The way this autocratic regime is operating after mass killings and after numerous protests shows that this regime is on the verge of collapse. There were many violations during this election process in Serbia, and the ruling party during the election campaign was very aggressive. Major violations were also recorded in Belgrade, where there was a closer race between opposition parties and the ruling party. On the other hand, we have not yet seen a strong response within the member states of the European Union to come up in support of opposition parties”, Weber has said.
He has said that many Serb citizens from Bosnia and Kosovo went to Serbia to vote illegally. According to him, the Serbian Progressive Party is standing silent in the face of all who violated the law.
“Now we are looking at protests by opposition parties and many young people in Belgrade, there are thousands who have taken to the streets to protest. On the other hand, we have the ruling party standing silent in front of those who have committed violations in the election process. There were many Serb citizens who came from Bosnia and Kosovo to vote illegally, so there were clearly many manipulations in the December 17th elections. All these violations are recorded in detail. Now we will see what approach the West will get in relation to Serbia after these elections, and I also care to see if the West will support opposition parties and civil society in Serbia”, Weber has said of the 1st.
